INSPIRAL CARPETS Greatest Hits Tour
First Time in Australia since 1993!
First Time ever in New Zealand!!!
You forget how many great songs they have in their catalogue and as they pump them out the crowd is in rapture” (LOUDER THAN WAR)
Cool as **** Legendary Manchester band INSPIRAL CARPETS are reuniting for a Greatest Hits Tour of Australia and New Zealand in July / August. An integral part of the Madchester scene along with the Stone Roses, Charlatans, Happy Mondays and James this will be their First Time in Australia since 1993 and their First Time ever in New Zealand!!!
The INSPIRAL CARPETS formed in Oldham in the late 80s and by 1990 their stunning debut album Life peaked at #2 on the UK albums chart and produced several Top 20 singles including ‘This Is How It Feels’ and ‘She Comes in the Fall’.
Follow up album The Beast Inside went Top 5 and featured favourites ‘Caravan’ and ‘Please Be Cruel’ whilst 92’s Revenge Of The Goldfish album featured indie-dancefloor bangers ‘Dragging Me Down’ and ‘Two Worlds Collide’.
The next album, Devil Hopping (1994), reached number 10 in the UK album chart, with ‘Saturn 5’ and ‘I Want You’ (featuring Mark E Smith) as top-20 hits.
INSPIRAL CARPETS reunited in 2003, playing to sellout crowds on tour and releasing the single ‘Come Back Tomorrow’ (recorded in 1995) and a number of new compilation records, most notably the Cool As box set.
The band went on indefinite hiatus after the sudden death of much-loved band mate, drummer Craig Gill in 2016. Now the Carpets, (who Noel Gallagher once famously roadied for), say the “time is right” to head back on tour to celebrate their music – while paying tribute to Craig Gill.
“It will be a celebration of the music we created, which has brought so much joy to people over the last 34 years”
Moo!
